The Romantic Period (1785-1830)
La Prise de la Bastille, le 14 Juillet 1789, Claude Cholat, 1789
This amateur painting (in gouaehe on cardboard) was made 'on the spot' by one of the participants in the five-hour siege, a local wine merchant, and presented to the French National Assembly two years later. The storming of the Bastille?the fortress and state prison in Paris, a hated symbol of absolutism?marked the entry of the lower classes ('the people') into the Revolution. The anniversary of the event, July 14, is the principal French national holiday.

Plate 1 of The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, William Blake, 1790-93
This title page of a work composed in the early years of the French Revolution (see p. 1430) juxtaposes lighthearted activities (birds and humans soaring, strolling, playing music, dancing, embracing) with bleak and ominous surroundings (the leaflessness of the trees, the intensity of the flames). The larger reclining figures at the bottom of the page, sexy but genderless, are usually read as a devil and an angel whose embrace symbolizes the union ('marriage') of contraries running throughout the work.
